Thermal imaging roof survey in Hunton, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Hunton, with photographs and a written report.
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Heat escaping through the roof
Thermal roof survey in Hunton
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re often asked to look into stains that keep coming back and missing or slipped insulation, across flat roofs, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Somewhere as small as Hunton, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Common roof problems in Hunton
People often book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. The camera helps narrow the search.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Heat escaping through the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their track record with similar roofs
How we price thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What else we do in Hunton
What happens if roof problems are left?
Wet insulation under a flat roof doesn’t dry out on its own while the covering stays on. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. For older village homes like those around Hunton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why us?
- A report with photographs
- 20+ years’ experience
- An independent view of the roof
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Thermal roof surveys in Hunton: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Around Hunton, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Hunton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Hunton
How do I find out if my home in Hunton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Hunton?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
